bling it on
Friday, March 25
Call me crazy, but I think the best time to bust out the bling is with a bikini. It's so unexpected! Plus, it can distract from, um, other shortcomings! Most importantly, I paid to play, right? Of course, I'm talking rocks within reason. I love Rocky Barnes' mix of Marysia scallops and a Brent Neale multi-stone mushroom.
veja x marni
Wednesday, March 23
No surprise that the just-launched Veja x Marni sneakers are running out of stock fast! You can still find sizes here and here! Marni reinvents Veja's minimalist silhouette with playful, hand-crafted looking scribbles, and the result is a statement sneaker for the books. Bonus: they're environmentally friendly: the soles are crafted from 31% Amazonian rubber, 22% rice waste, and 12% recycled rubber, and the laces are 100% recycled polyester.
who's who
Monday, March 21
The other day I showed my kids a photograph of my identical twin sister and me celebrating our 5th birthday. I asked them if they could identify me in the picture. And neither of them could! I was astonished, to say the least! Now, I wonder if they'd be able to discern who's in the above picture. Making it trickier: we both have the same St. Roche sweater and JW Anderson dupes by Zara. What do you think?
a lot of ulla
Friday, March 18
This Ulla Johnson swimsuit ticks every box for me: sexy, flattering, statement-making, and beach-to-street versatile (below). Plus, the batik print speaks to my heritage. So, what more could I want? Perhaps the jumpsuit version as well (last pic)?! With a blazer, sneakers or sandals or heels--or all on multiple and myriad occasions! So much to love! Happy Weekend, you all!
short and sweet

The must-have Frankie Shop shorts-and-shirt set that sold out several times over last summer are back--and even better. Made with organic cotton, the boxer-inspired bottoms and throw-on-and-go crisp tops come in a new vibrant array of colors and stripes! I'm leaning toward the endlessly versatile neutral combo, below, which I'd also sport separately, of course. Pick your favorite here!
more stripes
Wednesday, March 16
All of sudden I need not one multiple-striped shirt, but three! The Banana Republic, above, needs to be worn exactly as shown (unbuttoned with a lariat necklace!). The crisp-looking one immediately below comes from Mango, and the last one is by Gap, which I envision wearing over this sexy cut-out Zara bathing suit, for some reason. All super cute.
tuesday treasures
Tuesday, March 15
Dressing up denim requires deft styling, but even more critically, the right pair of jeans! Lisa Aiken, above, sold me on the high-rise, flair-leg (stiletto-friendly) Slverlake jeans, which I scored on sale at Shopbop today! FYI: there all kinds of spring finds up for grabs (at up to 70% off), including this print Love The Label mini, this Citizens of Humanity belted jean jacket, this sexy Significant Other maxi, this fun Farm Rio dress and these must-have Isabel Marant clogs. Shop it all here!
